Today we proudly present to you Toggi's new single, 'Silly Old Song'.

The song was recorded in the same session as 'Wonderful', and we started work on overdubs and additional programming as soon as we released that song. There is a lot of post production work in this song, many many layers of soundscaping and vintage synths and studio goodies.

A fun trivial fact is that one of the most recognizable singers in the world sings a short backing vocal in the song. He made us swear that we wouldn't tell who he is so he wouldn't have problems with his label, but a well trained ear can hear it easily.

To celebrate the global economic recession, we have decided to offer you a very special deal, just read the banner below, and click it to go to grapewire.net for your purchase:

It's a great deal. We thought of everything. If you hate special offers, don't believe in the econocalypse and just want to support us, you can buy the songs seperately, for double the price. As many times as you like.

If you on the other hand don't believe in paying for your music, you can just come back again and again, and listen to the stream on this page.

Eberg just finished putting together an extremely catchy little tune for a Kringlan shopping mall spot directed by Lalli Jonsson at Republik for agency Jonsson & Le'macks. Very nice work, as we are sure you will agree:

It's friday. The Iceland Airwaves festival hits Reykjavik like a wall of sound with it's full force. All venues are packed with great bands and music lovers. And beer.

Our friends Dynamo Fog are playing at Organ 9:45 tonight, if you happen to be in Iceland. They just released a video with their new song, Let's Rock'nRock that should get you in the mood:

You will here more of Dynamo Fog here shortly. Check out their myspace site here:

It's been weird here in Iceland for the last couple of weeks, to say the least.

Our super-overextended banking system (run and fuelled by the greed and debt of a handful of billionaires in front of the blind eye of stupid regulators) exploded, leaving the Icelandic state with responsabilities and debt for future generations, and clients of Icelandic banks all over the world with a huge loss. If I never hear the word 'turmoil' again, that's just fine by me.

Our currency, (already a stupid idea to have a currency for only 320.000 people) plunged like a lead ballon, and the implications of what this will mean for our little island in the north are huge. Failure of banks and businesses and enormous debt is what awaits our country.

It doesn't stop here. Thanks to an unexpected PR war that supreme twat PM Gordon Brown won, and Iceland lost spectacularly without a fight, most people seem to think that the people of Iceland are now driving around in 4x4 Ferraris, drinking vodka from jewelery bought with stolen money from widows and UK charities. The trouth could not be further away, but this is what losing a PR war means.

On my desk I have a marketing campaign all ready, just waiting for my approval. Around 50% of the recipients are in the UK. I think I'll wait.

There are good sides to all this, believe you me. Music and culture tends to bloom in recession, and the fact that our currency just went tits up, makes us more competitive pricewise. Our company has a small overhead and can take the heat for a while. And I don't worry for a second about Icelandic music. Having heard all the new stuff that is being made, I can assure you that the future is bright.
